Every year, January 27 is celebrated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Holocaust was a genocide of millions of European Jews during World War II (1939-1945) only because of their ethnicity . The massacre of Jews was organized by Adolf Hitler, the leader of the German Nazi Party. The German National Socialist Workers’ Party (ANSFP) has organised a number of uprisings since November 1938. The most violent uprising was the “Crystal Night” on November 9-10. Hundreds of years of synagogues, Jewish shops, homes, and other property were burned, 400 Jews killed, and others tortured. Over the next few days, 36,000 Jews were relocated to special camps. More than a million Jews were killed in the gas chambers of the Auschwitz concentration camp only in Nazi-occupied Poland . In all, 7 out of 10 Jews in Europe were killed in the tragedy. The events of the genocide are a universal crime and have turned against humanity. Various commemorative events are held in our country every year to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust.
